Brian meets jesus

[@keynanmartinez]

Seth MacFarlane doesn't give a sh*t on Plot Holes.

[@Shadowcat753]

For number 1, just because Jesus exists doesn't prove there's a "God". He does appear to have his own powers/abilities. There's no shown proof that said abilities are provided by any "God". I'm sure Brian would actually say the same point to this one. Being originally Jewish myself (now agnostic), I'd more likely to see a miracle by Moses since he'd literally need a helping hand for any miracles and doesn't have powers of his own, just saying.

Another plot hole how Peter met Quagmire,Cleveland,Joe. Also Peter met God in season 12 episode 13 and season 16 episode 20.

@@WatchMojoyou do realize that due to the multiverse episode, furries are canon in the family guy universe as well as a universe where everyone is their fursona. Not only does this somewhat close plot holes, as this could be a result of Stewie collecting things from other universes, but also other more subtle differences. Alongside this, if American dad and family guy do infact share a universe, due to this, and the American dad furry Easter egg, no doubt this is somewhat proven to be a thing. I can only imagine Brian asking Stewie what are fursuits and Stewie giving an entire essay.

@@Herbicide420 there’s also when their air conditioner stops during a heat wave and Stewie demands his overalls or he’ll call child services and Lois replies “Please don’t threaten Mommy. She’s very hot.” Or that time Peter tried to potty train Stewie, Stewie tells Peter to put his hands on the toilet seat and Stewie slams the seat on his hands. Peter thinks he probably doesn’t need to pee and considers giving him beer saying it goes right through him. Stewie then sarcastically suggests “lighting up a doobie and watching porn” to which Peter goes “Y-…Yeah?”

This caused peter too feel guilty for brian being homeless and he too brain in again.

[@flexivefowl8186]

I definitely noticed Carols baby vanishing. I guess the writers just completely forgot about it.

[@coreyrodefer749]

I think it's actually a a hidden plot that that can only be seen by a select few because if you work at Carol's baby it resembles Stewie before he got his head shaped like a football from hitting it on the stealing while bouncing on the bed and we all know the messed-up stuff that Lois and Peter have done and there was an episode in more recent seasons where they actually kidnapped a kid to get him help because his parents didn't believe in modern medicine and so we all know that Lois and Peter are perfectly capable of kidnapping... so perhaps Stewie is a future form of that baby after Lois and Peter kidnaps him from Carol because of how Reckless she is and how often she has men in and out of her lives they realized they could give Stewie a better life and raised him as their own and that would also explain why he's so different... I theorize that it's either that or Carol unknowingly had herself impregnated with Peter sperm from the sperm bank because there was an episode in recent seasons where he had like 100 Kids from his sperm replacing all of their samples at the sperm bank

[@thedevilsrockstxr2309]

[@stephiegee5416]

There is one tiny loop hole that has always bothered me. In one episode, Peter is excited because he’s been selected for jury duty, thinking it’s some sort of honor. Then it’s explained what it really is, and Peter gets very disappointed. However, in an early season episode (can’t think of which specific one right now), Peter lies and says a racist comment specifically to get out of jury duty.

[@MaxWeb2599]

Some of them are easy to explain. Peter mentioning Quagmires "behind" means that he was with his back to the door, so it's possible they didn't seen his face. Brian could possibly hear the fire fighter because dogs have a good hearing. There are examples where people conform outwardly to those around them. There are even some who are beginning to resemble their pets

[@richardherndon451]

Agreed. I think Quagmire could also be explained by the shock of finding your friend doing another friend's wife.

[@hezekiahramirez6965]

Stewie is the easiest one for me. I've always had a theory that everybody can actually understand him but they don't pay attention to him because he's just a baby so he's really not worth listening to. They're used to babies who just babble incoherently so they just figure he's just on some baby nonsense. No big deal. There's even proof of this when Lois dreams about Stewie and can clearly understand him. How would Stewie have the exact same voice, cadence, and vocabulary if she couldn't understand him? There are probably still some holes but I think it's as logical an explanation as any unless they somehow come up with some clever explanation that makes it all make sense

[@RandomWriter9110]

You missed the most obvious one within the whole series! Meg and Chris have both aged throughout the series, yet Stewie is still a baby. Meg started at 15 and is now 18. Chris started at 13 and, while not actually given a direct age recently, has gone through different grades in school. Stewie has been roughly around a year old the entire time! 😂

[@gmmartines7331]

They mention this too. Brian asks Stewie how old he is and he says one and Brian asks "Still?"

[@SSJvegito501]

99.99% true. He wasn't one extremely early in the show but he turns one in one of the early episodes. He even gets a birthday party.

[@CanadaDragon1]

Here's another one. How old are Quagmire's parents? In the episode, "Foxy Lady", it's revealed that Quagmire was born in 1948. Quagmire's trans father appears from time to time, and we even see his mother in the episode "Quagmire's Mom". Quagmire's parents look a little over 30 years older than him. So, that would mean his parents would be in their late 90's or early 100's. They look great for their ages however. Maybe it's the carrots thing?

[@jesusrox4u]

Wouldn’t Ida be Quagmire’s trans mother and not Quagmire’s father due to Ida’s sex change and being trans?

[@CanadaDragon1]

@@jesusrox4u No. Technically, a sex change operation only makes you LOOK like the opposite gender. But Quagmire's dad can't produce egg cells, or have periods, like a REAL woman.

6: I've always understood it as Lois and Peter CAN understand Stewie, they just dismiss and ignore everything he says, like as baby babbling/nonsense. They just assume that as a baby he has nothing to say they need to pay any attention to. (Of course, the Stewie's First Word episode, which I LOVE for how hard they slam Caillou, suggests I was wrong, but then I just think they suspended this version for the gag of the episode). 5: I feel like the "Meg's Real Father" line was a throwaway, non-canon gag. 4: "Tricked Stewie into taking the blood oath, as a way to spread herpes to the infant"? "Plan"? What kind of garbage sentence is THAT??? Did nobody at WatchMojo ACTUALLY watch the episode? The oath wasn't his idea, and he had NO motivation or intent to spread it! Stewie had to talk him into it, what plan??!?! The issue was that Brian ignores that he has it, he let Stewie do the oath with him despite that - in this universe - that would infect Stewie with herpes! He's a scumbag for, more than keeping it a secret, letting Stewie do it despite the danger he doesn't know about. (Also, CAN'T YOU catch herpes like that? Isn't it something he'd carry in his blood, that would spread when mixing blood? This seems counter-intuitive...)

[@ЯрославШ-ж9м]

I was always suprised by the fact that nobody notices Herbert's attraction to Chris and other children that is very strange.

The one that always bugged me was that in the episode where they win the lottery, Peter is shown writing checks to Joe and Quagmire. A few seasons later, in the episode where Quagmire gets with an underage girl, the start of the episode focuses on Peter not having a checking account and Lois making him get one

[@olvialee7221]

140: You totally forgot Chris Griffin’s birth. In early seasons, there was a picture on the fridge that Lois gave birth to her son as a full grown teenager . It was mentioned again in Season 8 when Peter told Quagmire that Chris nearly tore Lois apart while giving birth. Now, in new Seasons, they show a baby book of Chris as a baby. How is that possible?

[@marieangels6]

Obviously the pic was joke... You can't birth a full grown teenager

[@Wiiguy1606]

You're treating this like a problem because it technically wasn't a cut away and therefore cannot be easily disputed? Because it sounds like whenever they actually cut away to something as part of a joke. You can easily ignore the kind of nuity of it, but if it's something that happens or is discuss in present time then it's treated more like it's meant to be serious? Actually in that episode where Lois becomes a boxer, I believe there's technically only one cut away where Peter Griffin burps loudly in an underground parking lot. Every other joke happens in real time in that episode

[@GabrielleHanna-h4u]

Also there was a cutaway where they kidnapped him from a Dutch family, iirc 😂😂

[@lukethomas6900]

As for Carol's baby, we could always just assume that she gave him up for adoption after realizing that maybe she wasn't fit to be a single mother, and that she wanted him to grow up having two parents.

[@josephwest124]

Then there was the episode when Stewie's Eastern European nanny turns out to be some sort of spy/agent/assassin who's being pursued by enemies and, while she's trying to escape them, she takes off with Stewie only to toss him out of a plane with a parachute, telling him to "Count to 3 and pull the cord" at which point she tosses him out and Stewie yells, "I don't know my numbers." That's fine for any ordinary baby but we all know that Stewie has managed to invent all sorts of impressive scientific machines (a time machine, a machine he used to shrink Brian, a brain-swapping machine, the machine that wound up creating "Evil Stewie," a teleportation machine, etc) but, somehow, WITHOUT knowing his numbers. Sounds like a REALLY big plot hole.

[@CarlDillynson]

For me it’s the continuity of the size of the Griffin family house. In earlier seasons it was a modest cape code and lately all the rooms are shown to be like 1000 sq feet. Don’t even get me started on their basement or Stewie’s room, lol. That size seems to change scene by scene.

[@Kinosho_Kawakami]

a lot of these are jokes so depending on the episode the characters will behave differently to accommodate the joke. it's not supposed to be taken as seriously canon which is why Family Guy works on so many levels.

[@CarlDillynson]

I agree. I also think of it as a show where you’re supposed to take every individual episode as the first time you’re meeting them all, basically. So most of the inconsistencies don’t bother me. This still does present *some* issues of inconsistency, of course, but overall that’s how I mostly rectify it 😂

[@Wiiguy1606]

Once again, I have to say the reason Brian is able to have a 13-year-old boy despite being 7 is because like he said, they're in dog years. Brian at the age of seven of Dylan's debut episode and that's the equivalent of 49-year-old which is older than 13 The solution is simple. Just look at the Robin Williams movie Jack where Robin William plays the titular character that ages four times as fast so he looks like a 40-year-old when he's only been alive for 10 years. Same thing applies here. Because Dylan's father is a dog. He ages as fast as a dog so when he looks like a 13-year-old boy in his debut he technically only has been alive for almost 2 years in universe. But seriously, no character ever actually ages in cartoons unless they actually meant to anyway. So why would it even be a big deal?

[@trinaq]

I always wondered why women on TV have super long pregnancies, which last for well over a year, and not the standard nine months. Rachel from Friends was a major example, and recently Mandy from Young Sheldon.

[@chazeverett]

alot of the times in shows the shows seasons only takes place a few days or like a few months so a whole season can take place a few days to a a few months like that 70s show for instance look at the licencs place at the beginning of the season it says what year it takes place in later on in the season there were multiple seasons that only took place in one year so the reason they have so called long pregnacies in shows is because the show only takes place a few months less than 9 months like friends where phebe and rachael were pregnant thats just how shows work but phebe from friends was actually pegnant in real life they worked that into the show but ya shows dont exactly work the same way it does in the real life again shows seasons dont exactly take place in one year could be full season within the matter of couple of monts or weeks some e pisodes take place right after the last episode ends so 2 epidsodes of a show can take place in one day

[@chazeverett]

latr in that 70s show thet did multiple seasons in one year because like i said they did the date on the license plate and was running into a problem with the date almost running into the 80s lol so they had to make multiple seasons to stay in the 70s where the last episode of the series was new years turning 1980 lol

[@chazeverett]

look at the show 24 each season took place in the span of one day thats why it was called 24 as in 24 hrs you have to think how ong each season actually is and how many days each season actually takes place in

The first one Brian with the family. There's also another episode you didn't mention where Brian meets a dog he knew from when he's was homeless on the street. Since it's been shown that Family Guy is actors doing a show there is the theory that in real life Brian was on the streets and asked to be on the show. You said in earlier Seasons Chris couldn't understand Stewie but there's an episode where you see Stewie get born Chris mentions the talking.

Here's another one. Lois is 2 years younger than Peter, but they were both 18 in 1984. In the season 2 episode, "Let's Go to the Hop", it's revealed that Lois is younger than Peter by 2 years. However, in the season 5 episode, "Meet the Quagmires", Death takes Peter back to the year of 1984, where somehow Peter and Lois were both 18 years old at that time, which is mathematically impossible. Lois should have been 16 years old at that time.

[@taurus_1977]

Another Family Guy plot hole is about Quagmire's mother...in season 4 "Brian The Bachelor", Brian apologized to Brooke about the dinner disaster at the Griffins house but Brooke explains that it was not as bad as her dinner date with Quagmire and his mom, where she was off screen and sounding like an elderly cat lady. But then later when Quagmire was on trial, he was was explaining that his behavior stemmed from his mother being very promiscuous, and the way he learned his ABCs was by naming all the men that came to the house to see her.

[@marieangels6]

Here's another one. How are Lois and Patrick red-heads? Lois and her older brother, Patrick (a.k.a. the fat guy strangler) have red hair. However, their parents, Carter and Babs, never had red hair. Anytime there's a flashback showing Carter or Babs from a long time ago, it always shows them having black hair. So, where the hell did Lois and Patrick's red hair come from? Also, bonus fact: Lois was originally going to have blonde hair, which is why Chris is blonde.

Guys, it's like you're taking yourselves too serious in some of these picks.

(Then again, Peter's accent doesn't really seem to match his own upbringing. His father, Francis, had a very old-fashioned Irish-influenced accent, despite presumably having been American-born and -bred. And his mother had a fairly nondescript Phyllis Diller accent--because she was voiced by the legendary comedienne. Yet, Peter has that thick working-class New England accent which neither of the parents with whom he grew up possessed so where/how did Peter get HIS accent?)

I question the idea of "canon" in Family Guy. A million things happen in each episode, and after the conclusion of most episodes, nothing we watched actually happened.

[@estebangutierrez160]

Some things still apply and stick, like Loretta and Cleveland divorcing, Quagmire hating Brian, Carter disliking Peter so much, etc.

[@bryankutchens7495]

I'm not sure watchmojo knows what a plot hole is

[@olvialee7221]

141: The Herbert thing is pretty obvious to me. Doesn’t Lois and Peter care about their kids?

[@Toledotourbillion]

Maybe the next list for Family Guy should be "Top 20 Consistencies in Family Guy."

[@kadenpopp16]

Brian is 7 human years old, he's actually 49. 15:47

[@olvialee7221]

139: I got some good ones, Tom Tucker’s son Jake, we haven’t seen him that much and the Evil Monkey, whom is in Jake’s closet

[@matthewspencer4553]

I have a simply explanation each episode is a different multiverse

[@proclivities460]

Family Guy is pretty much built on plot holes since it has nonsensical cutaways as its main "thing". That's prolly why South Park ripped it a new one in that hilarious episode. I love both shows though, even though they're so different...

[@Spiralredd]

The one about Brian being an atheist really made me look at it in a whole new way

[@KevinFarrell-hc3wn]

You're so surprised about Herbert? It is just a damn cartoon!! Wtf

[@joanhill4666]

Here's a Family Guy plothole that doesn't make sense to me. Stewie meets Santa in "Road To The North Pole," yet is terrified to meet him "For The first time" in "Christmas Is Coming."

[@fireflowerspindash]

I think one the biggest plot holes that nobody seems to talk about is Nate Griffin, Peter's black ancestor. He was a slave owned by lois's family who started a family with one of the Pewterschmidts. This would mean that Peter and Lois were already related before they got married. 😦

[@YourCeeCeeDuelist]

Brian just does the things he does because he's incredibly petty

[@WWHD223]

My only complaint with the fact that this video was made I’d the fact that Family Guy isn’t intended to be relatable to the real world. It’s supposed to be absurd and ridiculous to the point that things that we consider offensive happen to the cast because it can be funny in a completely dark humor manner.

[@estebangutierrez160]

Exactly, like I laugh at a few dark jokes.

[@ETHAN-is3li]

I think the next Family Guy video should be top 20 worst things Meg has done. You did one for Stewie, Peter, Brian, and Lois, but not Meg.

[@DEV-gz2eu]

I don't think she as done enough terrible things to fill a list. She has done some bad things but not nearly as much as the other family members. I think she could only fill out a 10 worst things list, maybe.

[@ETHAN-is3li]

@@DEV-gz2eu Here a list. May not be in this order, but it at least gives 20 of those. 20. Told Lies In Order To Collect More Tips - Love The Trophy 19. Became An Internet Star - Girl Internetted 18. Became A Religious Fanatic - Not All Dogs Go To Heaven 17. Stole People’s Belongings From A Retirement Facility - The Heartbreak Dog 16. Took Her Anger Out On The Wrong Person - Road To Rupert 15.

[@gabriellacomito5918]

I believe Stewie developed language skills at an early age because he's just that much of a genius.

[@ROCKONplaceboforever]

Good job as always guys 👏

[@COBO2]

Family Guy like The Simpsons have a flexible timeline so they can chop and choose what happens with their characters.

[@Sly88Frye]

12:57 Well you see love can do many a strange things. Maybe she just has that accent from the time that her relationship with Peter was actually a really great relationship.

[@thefantasticretroreviewer3941]

15:24, I have no idea how this even works. Brian's a Dog and him having a Human Kid (or more) seems weird. Plus, even if Brian has Kids, shouldn't they be looking like, well, DOGS AND NOT HUMAN KIDS???? I know its a Cartoon, but this Logic has to make sense.

[@GigaTechWolf]

Peter probably Dyed his hair between Episodes

[@Originella]

12:12 "Oldest son" implies they have more than one son. "Oldest child" would therefore be correct.

[@notevenhuman8141]

Nobody doing anything about Herbert is called out by Stewie when he is asked about anything suspicious in Quahog. He says nobody is doing anything since he's too funny to write out of the show, which makes sense, but everyone just seems oblivious to who Herbert is. Chris and Pet-- I mean the Fatman make sense but Lois and (maybe) Meg should have been more aware of it.

[@CanadaDragon1]

Here's another one. Wrong season on Chris' birthday. In the episode "German Guy", it's revealed that Chris' birthday is February 8th. Which means he was born in the winter. In Rhode Island, it's usually pretty cold and snowy in the winter. However, in the episode "Follow the Money", which happens during Chris' birthday, the weather looks like it's either spring or summer. Cleveland is even wearing shorts and doesn't seem to be cold whatsoever. So, how can it be warm and sunny in Rhode Island during the winter? Maybe global warming is starting to take effect? Who knows? Also, Bonus Fact: The reason why Chris' birthday is February 8th is because it's also the birthday of Chris' voice actor, Seth Green.

[@abbysmommy220]

I don't think you have any idea what a plot hole is. These are inconsistencies at best.

[@NickDrinksWater]

Plot holes are a huge thing in the show. Family guy has never been about consistent story telling, character growth is mediocre at best, its all about the jokes and trying to offend people lol

[@mathieuleader8601]

another thing about the episode Adoptation they did not mention Lois's siblings Carol & Patrick

[@yesmccauky748]

3:17 ‘NEVER ALTER THE PAST, Brian!’ - Stewie

[@ursulap.6722]

Stewie calls Brian out for being an atheist in The 2,000 Year Old Virgin, saying something like "Jesus lived with us for a week, what more do you want?" Just saying -- the list featured instances of the show calling out the plot holes wherever possible, except for this one. The narrator calls it out herself, as if the show didn't already do that. edit: I want to also add that Brian's son being older than him bothers me less than the fact that Stewie (a human) & Brian's kids were genetic monsters, and the least deformed one still looked & acted mostly dog-like. Granted, Stewie is a uterus-less vagina-less toddler so that could be a factor, but there's still the fact that Dylan has ZERO dog features whatsoever. It makes me think that Tracy Flanagan was just either cheating on him (assuming that makes sense with the timeline) or fucking some random human before she was fucking Brian.

[@TheCbazza]

meg being "untalented" and a bad singer despite there being an entire episode where she was a popstar with a good singing voice that entire episode is one big plot hole. but its still my favorite episode

[@wilberwhateley7569]

Not to mention the episode in which she was forced to demonstrate a series of different athletic abilities to qualify for her college admission...

[@notimeleft1]

I never understood why Brian was an atheist in the show especially given the fact that in either episodes he was seen as someone how was well versed in the Bible, he met Christ himself and witnessed him perform miracles (including making Lois’s boobs bigger at Peter’s request) or in the episode where the local news outlet for the show played probably the most messed up yet hilarious April fools gag on the town and stewie catches Brian praying to God.

[@twistedgaming9185]

Seth McFarlane is an atheist himself... while voicing God a few times.

[@wilberwhateley7569]

Because Brian's religious beliefs can be explained away by numerous retcons - Stewie is canonically the origin of the universe and has fucked with it many times via time travel adventures: perhaps Brian never met Christ in some of these timelines and thus openly expresses his non-belief while in other timelines he comes face-to-face with many divine beings under a variety of unusual circumstances! This show runs on negative continuity, baby!

[@John_Zatanna]

the only top 20 video I've ever watched

[@ChaosGamer777]

15:45 Stewie and Brian time travel regularly. So it's not as impossible as you might think

[@aaronpierce6602]

Another big plot hole is how is it that when stewie had brian kids by mixing their dna they create these ugly and disabled babies, but when brian has his son, his son comes out completely normal with no defects!

[@mattnorton5787]

A lot of these plot holes were called out on the show, which means we DID notice them. I've got a better one; In one episode, Quagmire gets arrested for sleeping with an underage girl, but the legal age in Rhode Island is 16, meaning she was, at most, 15. Her age is never mentioned in the episode, but you'd think if she were THAT young, he'd have noticed.

[@cheddarsmith6568]

He’d notice. But do you think he’d care

[@righteousrayyan2078]

Well the plot hole of Peter's hair turning brown again even though it became white could be explained by him dyeing his hair brown and continuing to do so, as it is common for older adults with gray hair to color their hair so as to conceal the graying

[@Ratface0007]

Brian witnessed divine plagues visit his own home and even acknowledges how pissed God is. Man’s living in denial

[@Eddieavina123]

Love your video

[@andeeharry]

6:38 Why did Stewie ended up having stage fright, after losing his place at Frank Senatra JR club? A couple of possiblities here...either he encountered something scary here, or a painful memory triggered it...since you know, he is a baby and he remembers his own birth, so somehow, it could connect.....or maybe the authorities scared the hell out of him. He is one years old, the world and grown ups can be scary.

[@marieangels6]

HOW DID BRAIN FATHER A HUMAN!? Cuz when Stewie had his babies they were half human half dog. I THINK TRACEY IS A LIAR!
